At the previous book launch, Zhao Lihong, Zhang Wei and Li Donghua had a deep, interesting and inspiring dialogue on the creative experience and reading experience of "Tree Child" from the perspective of children's literature.
The famous writer Zhang Wei believes that "Tree Child" is a rare masterpiece of children's literature, and its natural and comfortable style reflects the author's creative skills.
Writer Li Donghua said that the endless thinking on life conveyed in "Tree Children" is touching, and the concept of simple animism between people and nature in the book is also impressive.
Speaking of the original intention of the book, Zhao Lihong mentioned that he has always wanted to create a fairy tale full of fantasy, and this story has been brewing in his mind for a long time.
At the same time, Zhao Lihong believes that all things have feelings, just like a tree, it has life and thoughts, and she also hopes to write out the feelings between all things in the world. "Each of us searches for the ultimate truth between heaven and earth, but no one has yet found it, and the process of our search is the most wonderful process of life."
He felt that writers should have a childlike heart and should naturally turn themselves into a child. People who do not have a childlike heart and do not respect children cannot write good children's literature.
